Friend,
President Biden was elected with a clear mandate to act boldly on climate, jobs, and justice.
The American Jobs and Family Plan is a $4 trillion investment in that vision, one that would deliver environmental justice and create millions of good-paying jobs building a new clean energy economy.
Now, Republicans have brought their counterproposal to the table—and it's chump change. Their $189 billion infrastructure package fails to accomplish every single part of President Biden's mandate—and it's proof that the Republicans in Congress are not serious about investing in a meaningful economic recovery for American communities.
But there's good news: We don't need to compromise on justice, jobs, or climate action. Democrats can pass the American Jobs Plan without a single Republican vote. Add your name right now to urge them to do it!
Republicans' paltry infrastructure plan isn't just insufficient—it's downright dangerous. It actually invests in more pollution: More than half of their plan would go toward existing highways and roads, further polluting the neighborhoods of the roughly 45 million Americans who live within 300 feet of major transportation sites and perpetuating environmental racism indefinitely.
That's just one example of the heartlessness and insufficiency of the GOP's chump change infrastructure proposal. We need the full American Jobs Plan to meet our environmental justice commitments, to achieve 100% clean energy, and to invest in good union jobs at a scale that meets this historic moment. Add your name right now to tell Democrats to hold strong against the GOP's infrastructure bill and pass the American Jobs Plan.
Thanks,
